Erica Marsh, who gained a substantial following since joining Twitter in September 2022, regularly incited outrage with her opinions on race, abortion, and her celebration of the death of Jan 6 protester Ashli Babbitt.
However, her Twitter account was suspended on Sunday following reports suggesting that she may not be a real person.

Following Marsh's suspension, experts interviewed by The Washington Post cast doubt on her existence, stating that there is no evidence to support her being a real person.
The profile photo she used on Twitter is believed to be an AI-generated image, and there are no records of her in phone or voting databases. Furthermore, the Biden campaign, where Marsh claimed to have worked as a field organizer, has no record of her employment.

According to Twitter's Misleading and Deceptive Identities Policy, accounts that use deceptive identities can be suspended for violating the platform's terms of service.
However, the policy also allows for the possibility of account reinstatement if the user provides government-issued identification to prove their authenticity. In Marsh's case, this option may be impossible, as analysts suggest that she may not even exist.
